Rodgers 2024

Yeah it’s definitely not. In 2014 Rodgers essentially got us in position to at least represent in the SB, had it not been for our ST and then our D just utterly collapsing.
He at minimum should had 2 visits with 1 Win. Seattle nearly knocked off NE, so I think it’s possible we had a 50/50 chance had we not goofed up.

And MM had a part of it. Playing Not To Lose as Rodgers called it was what we did when we got the ball after the INT. Ironic. But back 4 seasons earlier Sam Shields picked the Bears late when they were trying to tie the game in the Championship game. There was no need to run it back because all we had to do was kneel. But in Seattle we get a late pick and instead of trying to bring it back for another 10-20 yards Peppers tells him to go down. Seattle is a curse for us there. I hope this year we break it.

Off topic - that 2014 NFCCG loss I pin on MM. In the end he played not to lose. That demoralizes a team. In that game, the team had dominated for 3 and 1/2 quarters, only to suddenly stop attacking. That is still the most heart-braking loss I've seen since following the Packers, and there have been a fair share of them.

Certainly there were plenty of mistakes to go around. But with like 7 minutes left the team was asked to stop trying to win, and instead avert a loss. The results were predictable. MM shut down his team with enough time still on the clock.

If I'm a team even remotely thinking of Rodgers in 2025, I'm sitting him down and stating "You're coming in to play QB. You're not in a GM role. We aren't hiring any coaches you want (we have a staff here) and we are not bringing in any previous teammates on your suggestion" More than likely he would be offended and not be interested which would be fine. Sorry, but 2024 performance and the amount of toxicity he brings to the table should strip him of his ability to call any shots. Probably won't because some owners are stupid and desperate...
